Answer 1

Move the setRequestedOrientation() after the add/clearFlags() code

Edit: as stated below, I didn't see that it's using a preferenceActivity. Just for your understanding, this is the PreferenceActivity.onCreate() which you call with super.onCreate():

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

    setContentView(com.android.internal.R.layout.preference_list_content);

    mPreferenceManager = onCreatePreferenceManager();
    getListView().setScrollBarStyle(View.SCROLLBARS_INSIDE_INSET);
}

Why you request FEATURE_NO_TITLE if this already is requested in the super.onCreate()? Sometimes it's very helpful if you dig into the Android source code.
